Heikki Linnakangas 5d9851f5d1 Refactor the I/O functions.
This introduces two new abstraction layers for I/O:

- Block I/O, and
- Blob I/O.

The BlockReader trait abstracts a file or something else that can be read
in 8kB pages. It is implemented by EphemeralFiles, and by a new
FileBlockReader struct that allows reading arbitrary VirtualFiles in that
manner, utilizing the page cache.

There is also a new BlockCursor struct that works as a cursor over a
BlockReader. When you create a BlockCursor and read the first page using
it, it keeps the reference to the page. If you access the same page again,
it avoids going to page cache and quickly returns the same page again.
That can save a lot of lookups in the page cache if you perform multiple
reads.

The Blob-oriented API allows reading and writing "blobs" of arbitrary
length. It is a layer on top of the block-oriented API. When you write
a blob with the write_blob() function, it writes a length field
followed by the actual data to the underlying block storage, and
returns the offset where the blob was stored. The blob can be
retrieved later using the offset.

Finally, this replaces the I/O code in image-, delta-, and in-memory
layers to use the new abstractions. These replace the 'bookfile'
crate.

This is a backwards-incompatible change to the storage format.
